Hill Range Park
|For this contest, I intend to create a park that will fulfill the desires of the residents located around the area. This park will mostly be used as an area to escape the inner city of Las Vegas and escape to somewhere where you are free of your troubles.
Another thing that I find very important in the contest is to take into consideration the environmental elements like sun shading and the intense dryness in the desert. The park should be able to provide something that would help combat these problems.

impressive data gathering
important considerations
really thoughtful use of different elevations to encourage different kinds of activities; thoughtful use of a performance space - lots of intentionality about how and where it could be seen from different park perspectives
Great design concept with a variety of functions in the space.
Great collection of data and understanding of the demographics of the neighborhood and what options to provide to maximize the space for all users.
You are showing a lot of promise with the design software and I would love to see the the final model after more practice with the software, more time, better material selections, etc.
Loved the wide variety of ideas during initial design. Shows a well thought out plan and thinking outside the box for this particular site.
Very well done!!!
